Put on your detective hat. Now, it is time to become a Ruby detective! Learn how to spot the tell-tale signs of an authentic Ruby by examining its colour, clarity, and cut. As we take a closer look at the mesmerizing red hues, the subtle imperfections within the gem, and the precision of its facets. Get ready to sharpen your senses and unveil the true magic of a genuine Ruby.

Colour Identification: The most significant value factor is its colour. Ideally, coloured Rubies that show the best possible colour in terms of their attributes hue, tone, and saturation are referred to as “pigeon’s blood red” (a trading name) or precisely as a “vivid” red. Besides, Rubies are found in a range from a medium to dark tone, primarily coloured red. The finest Ruby owns a pure, vibrant red to slightly purplish red colour. Such pure-hue Rubies command higher prices. However, if Rubies are found to be too light-coloured, even if colour strength or intensity is high, they are referred to as pink Sapphires.

Look out for colours, Rubies that show an ideal red that is not dark, too dark colours can have a negative effect on the stone’s brightness. The most popular colours are Orangish red, Purplish red, Pinkish red and pure hue red. Ultimately, the most desirable colour of Ruby is the one that appeals to your desire.

Clarity within: Look out for thin mineral inclusion called needles, minute crystals, fingerprints and variations of colour across zones. Typically, these characteristics authenticate it as a natural Ruby because inclusion-free Rubies are practically non-existent. Any eye-visible inclusion located under the table will deter its transparency, brilliance and value. While large Inclusions can limit a Ruby’s durability and surface-reaching fractures can pose durability threats. Beware!

Did you know?

The needle-like intersecting inclusions contribute positively to their appearance to cause a phenomenon, called asterism when the gem is faceted, with a curved upper surface.

The Outline Shape: Rubies are faceted based on their rough crystal structure to conserve as much weight as possible.  Therefore, lapidary shapes them to accommodate most common shapes such as ovals, cushions, rounds, triangles, emerald-cut, pears and marquise. Most of them are available in smaller sizes, as large sizes and high quality are rare. At C. Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers, we offer the finest and large sizes of gems to satisfy every need.
